orderly_a manner_n therefore_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o interpretation_n of_o nature_n contain_v chief_o two_o part_n the_o first_o tend_v to_o the_o draw_v out_o and_o raise_v axiom_n from_o

because_o the_o air_n be_v there_o so_o subtle_a that_o it_o suffice_v not_o for_o respiration_n they_o say_v also_o that_o there_o be_v there_o so_o great_a a_o calm_a free_a from_o all_o rain_n
